This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, the first socialist revolution in history, where workers and peasants took power into their own hands to determine their own fate.

In honor of this anniversary, International Socialist Organization [ISO] Columbus will be embarking on a three-part study series on Paul Le Blanc’s book, Lenin and the Revolutionary Party.

In this thorough, concise, and accessible introduction to Lenin’s theory and practice of revolutionary politics, Paul Le Blanc gives a vibrant sense of the historical context of the socialist movement (in Russia and abroad) from which Lenin’s ideas about revolutionary organization spring. What emerges from Le Blanc’s partisan-yet-measured account is an image of a collaborative, ever adaptive, and dynamically engaged network of revolutionary activists who formed the core of the Bolshevik party.
